Media

Church-planting among the unreached often means living an intentional life while maintaining a professional presence. In the best case scenario, your job and your ministry goals will be symbiotic and complementary. Being a media creator among the unreached provides the opportunity to selectively choose subjects and projects that open avenues for sharing the gospel; “work” and church-planting combine into a seamless life of ministry. This track will train you to live “on purpose” no matter where you live or what you do as a career.

Besides the impact that a finished media piece can make on society, the process of making media can create even more lasting change through the relationships made along the way. Quality media is the product of building strong, honest, and intimate relationships between the subjects of media, the producers of media, and the consumers of media. This track is about far more than just creating video, photography, or multimedia. It is about using these professional skills as a means towards knowing and sharing life with real people.
